工作场所中员工创新的内驱力:员工创造力自我效能感

The Motivation of Employee Creativity:Employee Creative Self-efficacy

自我效能感在创新领域具体运用后,发展为创造力自我效能感,是指个体对创造成功的信念。以往的研究多集中于教育领域。随着员工创新在组织创新中地位提升,研究者发现,对创新成功所抱有的信念是支撑员工将创新行为实施到底的重要内在力量,创造力自我效能感的研究开始向组织领域拓展。文章对创造力自我效能感在组织领域的最新研究进行归纳,总结了影响员工创造力自我效能感的主要因素:领导支持、工作的复杂度等;提炼了员工创造力自我效能感与员工创新的关系,说明员工创造力自我效能感无论是作为员工创新心理的一个维度,还是作为一个独立变量在个体创新机制中起中介或者调节作用,均与员工创新紧密相关;最后,提出下一步的研究需要对员工创造力自我效能感的测量以及影响因素进行深入研究,为管理实践提供更多的理论依据。
